had died in infancy, when on the 9Th
of May, 1912 they moved with their
large family of ten children to York
vile, Racine Co., Wis, arriving at Ra-
cine on tina 22d of May. This journ-
ey of seventeen days was then regard
ed quick time between New York and
Wisconsin. They built their new
home in these western wilds when a
letter from New York required two
weeks for its transit and two shillings
for its postage. Its reception was an
event that would call together widely
scattered neighbors to hear the news
from the east. In Wisconsin two
daughters where born to them, making
twelve children (6 sons and 6 daugh-
ters) all Of whom are living to this
day, In August 1925 they moved to
Juneau Co, this state. in the vicinity
Of Nee d III, where they lived until
lS77-atter this time the parents
made their home principally with
their Oldest son. John H. Sarles, Of

more, Wis, Oct 80. 1880, in the 18th
year of his age, and was buried by his
children, nine of whom assembled at

Oct. Is. Nearly seven years later,
Aug. 14th, 1887. the remains of our
mother were laid by his his side.
Nine of the twelve children assem-
bled at her funeral held at the resi-
dence of John H. Sarles. Five of her
sons and one sOn-in-iaw. tho average
of whom is 55 years, bore the cssket
to the tomb that contained the re-
mains of their mother.
Thus did the children bury their
parents. large number of friends
gathered at her funeral. The ser
mon Was preached by Rev. A. A.
Young. of the Gong. Church from
Proverbs 31st Oh. 2Sth verse: "Her
children shall rise up aud call her
blessed"
Our mother was a birthright mem
her of the society of Friends. Her
mother. Lucretia Hallock, was a MEM
Der of the same and frequently pretch-
ed the Gospel in that society. Her
(Phoeb Hallock's) father, Elijah Hal
lock. was II Christian gentleman of
scholarly attainment and beloved BY
all. Our mother was of Christian and
highly honored parentage. We can
not describe her character in words.
To know her was to love her. Her
hand was always extended to the
poor and her ear was open unto their
crv. Her desire to comfort Others
made her ohliyious to herself. Amid
all the duties and perplexities of rear
ing a large family Of children, she wac
never known Ia speak q cross or un-
kind WORT. Her life was devoted to
her home and her children, and to the
homeless and helpless that came in
her way. Her health and strength
we're remarkable for her age, up to
last winter, when sickness came upon
her from which she never fully recoy-
cred. She died in great peace Aug.
10, at s pm. us before named. AT
the moment Of her departure the
STORM then prevailing hushed into
momentary silence. A rift in the
clouds enabled the suns rays to
stream through the window and shine
upon her face. She opened her eyes
in evident recognition Of her children
by her bedside and gently fell into q
sleep. her spirit translated to the
skies. All her children feG to say
good BIZ mother, with Gods help
ven meet thee in the in the better
land
